Literary Blog Hop: You Pick the Novel from a List of 100!

Welcome to the Literary Blog Hop hosted by Melinda at My Book Self! Every blogger participating in this hop is giving away a literary book (no young adult, new adult, middle-grade, urban fiction, etc.) or a gift card to purchase one. For my giveaway, I am offering your choice of book from the following list (eBook or print), as long as I can get it on Amazon for $10 or less:

I'd love to get The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, a beloved favorite, for my personal library if it's affordable. Ideally, I'd finally obtain Finnegan's Wake and re-commence the study of Joyce's genius that I left off over a decade ago in college(!) However, that will almost certainly be out of budget. If Mirth is too pricey, I'm thinking of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man because I haven't read it since high school! Thanks for this amazing opportunity -- this is the best blog hop around! Cheers, Kara S

I think I might pick Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood or Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. There's a bunch of titles on here that I either read prior to college or are available via Project Gutenberg (I used this *so much* in late middle school through high school). What I found interesting is that of all the books I was drawn to (a fairly decent sized list), I'd picked two Thomas Hardy novels. There's a bunch I liked that were set in/around WW2, but these two books are the ones I feel most drawn to today. We'll see if that's the same if I win :) But it's more likely that if I'd win, I'd be interested in one of those two books over the other. Just gotta wait to see what my tastes are for that particular day!!
